Old building by a young master.

Today, I enjoyed leading an architectural tour that explored 'a century of gentle density in St Kilda and Elwood'.

Because ideas about what is 'good housing' and 'good density' evolve and change over time, I find community forums like this to be consistently educational and rewarding.

The tour was a joint event organised by Port Phillip Bicycle User Group and Jane's Walk. It was 1 of 5 Jane’s Walks events held in Melbourne this 🌧️ 💨 weekend.

Jane’s Walk is a global volunteer-led community movement, created in recognition of the ideas and legacy of Jane Jacobs.
